Dusty Attic July 2020 Design Team Post

Hello to all my Dusty Attic friends...
Hope you are all still doing fine during these crazy times.
Thankfully we have Art and creativity to keep us sane nowadays and of course lovely, gorgeous Dusty chipboards!!!

Today I used Mintay Papers for this page. I used papers from the Love Letters collection.

I gesso'd the Mystic Frame and added some Cosmic Shimmer Lava Paste that I heatset with the Heat Tool for some texture. Next I colored it with Stamperia Glamour Paste; Ancient Pink. I mixed a little Old White and Patina Matt Waxes from Finnabair and highlighted the raised areas.

The three Hexagon Frame shapes were embossed with Mint Chip Embossing powders from Ranger.

Hand-stitching, sequences, lace and different flowers and some 'Say it with Pearls' from Prima add details to my page.

From the Dusty Attic On-line store I used the following.

Thank you for the visit, stay safe and stay healthy.

The joy of life
comes from our encounters with new experiences,
and hence there is no greater joy
than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
for each day to have a new and different sun.

Dusty Attic July 2020 Moodboard

Warm greetings Blog friends...

For the Dusty Attic July Moodboard challenge I am sharing a photo of me and my two daughters. I used two sheets of the Prima Love Story collection.

After distressing and punching the top sheet, I applied clear gesso to it. I mixed some white Crackle paste with a drop of Avocado Green Liquid Acrylic paint and put that through a stencil on the background paper. Next I sprayed some Cocklebells Coral spray from Lindy's Stampgang. I also stamped and embossed with Lindy's Merry-go-Round Green embossing powder.

After a layer of Gesso, I embossed the Foliage and Ornate Corner pieces with Ranger Antiquities Embossing Powder; California Stucco. The Spring Blooms were painted with Rustic Brown Metallique paint and highlighted with White Gold Metallique Wax both from Finnabair.

I painted the Leaves #2 with Green Splash paint from 13Arts and also the White Gold wax. The title got a sweep of Bundled Sage Distress Ink. On the dots of the Corner piece I painted some of the Cocklebells Coral and then placed a half Glass Bead onto it.

For the final touches I added Rose Color Fragments from Stampendous and White Shiny Glitter strips from 13Arts.
